We use cookies to remember users’ settings and for authentication. Users can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some features or areas of our site may be limited.

Regardless of where the information is processed, it will be done in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy and according to applicable local laws and regulations.

Links to Other Websites. Our website and products may contain links to websites under the control of third parties. These websites have their own privacy policies which you should review prior to using such sites.

Controlling your Information

Communication Preferences. Meridian PC Solutions may periodically send you promotional emails or newsletters. You may opt-out of these promotional emails or newsletters by following the unsubscribe instructions or link contained in all such emails we send, or by emailing support.

Meridian PC Solutions may also send service-related emails to inform you of product updates and operational notices. To opt-out of non-emergency service-related emails, use the Mailing Lists page in the password-protected area of our web site. Opting out of promotional or service-related emails will not affect any legal communications, emergency communications, customer service, technical support, or other transactional emails we may send.

Personal Data. The storage and processing of Personal Data by Meridian PC Solutions may be subject to mandatory legislation, such as the legislation based on EU Directive 95/46/EC which aims to prevent the violation of personal integrity in the processing of personal data (collectively, the “Personal Data Act”). For this purpose, you will always be considered the controller of your Personal Data, even if the processing is carried out by Meridian PC Solutions or any of its sub-contractors as part of our services. Meridian PC Solutions and any of its sub-contractors engaged for the storage and other processing are in such cases considered as your data processors (personal data assistants) and it is your sole responsibility to ensure that the processing of your Personal Data is in compliance with the Personal Data Act and other applicable legislation. A User should therefore contact the relevant data processor (usually being its employer) for questions with respect to the processing of its Personal Data. Nevertheless, a user’s Personal Data is not handled by Meridian PC Solutions in any different way than described herein.

Customer Data and Customer Encrypted Data. You may use the functions provided by our products and services to view, access, modify, and delete Customer Data and Customer Encrypted Data. Upon using such functions to delete such data, the data may be retained for a short period of time in case such deletion was accidental, and until all backup or archival copies are updated.

Retention. Meridian PC Solutions will retain Personal Data we collect from you as well as Personal Data we process on behalf of you for as long as needed to provide services to our Customers. We may also retain this information if necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.

Disclosures

Third Parties. Under no circumstances will Meridian PC Solutions sell, rent, or trade any collected information to third parties for their promotional purposes. Meridian PC Solutions may share collected information, not including Customer Data and Customer Encrypted Data, with third parties that work on Meridian PC Solutions behalf (for example, to process credit card orders). Any such third parties that work on Meridian PC Solutions behalf are required to adhere to privacy policies no less protective than those of Meridian PC Solutions own privacy policies. These companies are authorized to use your personal data only as necessary to provide these services to us.

Meridian PC Solutions reserves the right to use subcontractors for the processing of Personal Data. Meridian PC Solutions shall then, where applicable and on your behalf, conclude an agreement for personal data with such sub-contractors ensuring the sub-contractors’ compliance with the provisions set out in this Privacy Policy. If Personal Data originating from a customer (or user) located within the EU/EEA comes to be processed in a country outside the EU/EEA, Meridian PC Solutions will ensure that one of the exemptions from the “prohibition on transfer to a third country” under the Personal Data Act can be applied, for example consent, standard contractual clauses or adhesion to the Privacy Shield Principles (https://www.privacyshield.gov/list). Meridian PC Solutions is committed to subject all data received from the EU to the Privacy Shield Principles. This policy includes our subcontractors working outside the US who may may need certain data access to perform their job duties.

We are committed to safeguarding your Personal Data. In order to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, we have put in place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures meeting or exceeding industry standards and regulatory law.
